This weekend sees the Red Dragon Six Nations Cup taking place at the Penydarren Social Club in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales.

The 3-day event will get underway on the Friday morning with the singles tournament, which will see England’s Scott Mitchell and Deta Hedman defend the titles they won in the Republic of Ireland 12 months ago, Men and Women singles is played down to the finals on the first day with the Finals on the Sunday. This year will see the £1,800.00 prize funds from the singles tournament being donated to the designated charity of the Winners and Finalist Countries, also each of the six Counties will donate £200.00 to a charity of their choice from the singles event funds.

The opening day is also the start of the team events, which will see Northern Ireland take on Scotland in the first of the five of the six of the Women’s round-robin matches played on day one. Reigning ladies Champions England will start the defence of the title against Republic of Ireland on Friday with their second match in the 3-team group against Wales being played on Saturday. The first day will be rounded off with the first of the six men’s round- robin matches, when the Host Men’s team will play Northern Ireland. Scotland v Netherlands will be the opening encounter on the second day as the five remaining men’s group matches and the final Women’s group match are played, which sees England Men winners for past three years fighting it out with Northern Ireland and Wales for a place in the semi-finals. Final day will start off with the 5/6th place matches followed by the Men’s & Women’s Semi-final matches, Singles finals and both Team Finals.

It seems that this will be appearing on TV with the details to be announced - so I'm guessing Front Runner for those lucky enough to receive that channel, and presumably it will also be available via goldenarrows.

As a fan of all darts, good to see more BDO darts shown on TV, even though Front Runner is low end budget and the camera work and sound quality needs improving, good to watch players that I normally only get to see at Lakeside.
The women's game in the BDO is good viewing a with it being competitive amongst the top 10

Don't know any times yet, but this will be on Front Runner again if you can get that channel on Sky or Freeview - I'll post the times if I see them.

As they have now bought time on Front Runner, hopefully they don't decide to geoblock the youtube links above so that us in the UK who can't receive that channel are still able to watch some of the action. Mind you as it's Glastonbury weekend I'll most likely have that playing on the iPlayer anyway lol.

So by my estimation they aren't showing this evenings play, and also not showing the first couple of hours on Sunday.

Also, the Dutch team won't be participating in todays singles event as their flight was cancelled due to thunder strikes - they will still be playing in the team games though as they managed to leave this morning.
